2014 Suzuki Hayabusa Review

2014 Suzuki Hayabusa on Totalmotorcycle.com

The Ultimate Sport Bike...

More than a decade ago, Suzuki developed a machine so unique that it instantly
attracted a devoted following around the world. Like its namesake, the Japanese
peregrine falcon, the Hayabusa is famed for cutting through the air with incredible
agility and performance.

Through countless engineering refinements of the original design, the Hayabusa
spirit has endured. Its incomparable performance delivers a fun and sporty
ride at any speed, setting the bar high for rivals and defining the Ultimate
Sport Bike. The radically original yet timeless styling also reflects
the spirit of the person who owns a Hayabusa. Its sensational power, speed,
smooth ride and overwhelming presence continue to fascinate owners and onlookers
alike. Because the Hayabusa is, and always will be, the ultimate sport bike.

The 2014 model comes newly equipped with Brembo Monobloc high-performance
calipers and an Antilock Brake System. These features are sure to appeal to
lone riders cruising the highway as well as touring couples.

*The ABS is a supplemental device for brake operation, not a device for shortening
stopping distance. Always remember to reduce speed sufficiently before approaching
curves.

From reimagined legends like the lighter, tighter 2011 GSX-R750 to street
stallions like the popular SV650SA, our sportbikes are built for the rider
who leans into life and lives at the top of the tach.

1 Lighter and more rigid than conventional bolt-together calipers, the Hayabusa's
top-of-the-line radial-mount Brembo Monobloc front brake calipers deliver
better feedback to the rider. Piston diameter was enlarged from 32-30mm to
32-32mm. Larger pistons help apply greater force to the brake disc, which
results in increased initial bite and a more controlled feeling

2 The standard equipment Antilock Brake System (ABS) unit features a lightweight,
compact design. The ABS enhances brake performance by helping prevent, to
a certain extent, wheel locking due to changes in road conditions or excessive
braking, by matching stopping power to available traction.

6 The Hayabusa's instrument cluster features four analog meters for speedometer,
tachometer, fuel gauge and water temperature with an S-DMS mode indicator,
gear position indicator and adjustable engine-rpm indicator.

Lightweight aluminum alloy pistons with a compression ratio of 12.5:1 are
used for maximum performance in all connditions. Hard, smooth chrome-nitride
Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) coating on the upper compression and oil control
rings on each piston reduces friction while improving cylinder sealing.

Lightweight titanium valves allow the use of light valve springs and high
lift while maintaining accurate valve control. Iridium spark plugs are used
for high combustion efficiency.

Curved radiator with a compact, dense-core design and engine-management-computer-controlled
two ring-type electric fans mounted on the rear of the radiator, increasing
the control accuracy and keeping engine temperature stable.
